Prerequisites

Install pup using the setup instructions.

Required Input Resolution

For commands that need specific scope values (<env>, <service-name>, <team-id>, resource IDs), use this order:

  1. Check context first (conversation history, prior command output, saved variables).
  2. If missing, run a discovery command first (list/search) to get valid values.
  3. If still missing or ambiguous, ask the user to confirm the exact value.
  4. Then run the target command.
  5. Never run commands with unresolved placeholders like <env> or <monitor-id>.

Auth

pup auth login          # OAuth2 browser flow (recommended)
pup auth status         # Check token validity
pup auth refresh        # Refresh expired token (no browser)
pup auth logout         # Clear credentials

Tokens expire (~1 hour). If a command fails with 401/403 mid-conversation:

pup auth refresh        # Try refresh first
pup auth login          # If refresh fails, full re-auth

If Chrome opens the wrong profile/window, use the one-time OAuth URL printed by pup auth login (If the browser doesn't open, visit: ...) and open that link manually in the correct account session.

Headless/CI (no browser)

# Use env vars or:
export DD_API_KEY=your-api-key
export DD_APP_KEY=your-app-key
export DD_SITE=datadoghq.com    # or datadoghq.eu, etc.
